Businesswoman Louise to be honoured by the University

The University of Worcester will be officially conferring Worcestershire business woman Louise Hewett with a Fellowship of the University in Worcester Cathedral.

The Managing Director of Hewett Recruitment and Hewett Executive Talent in Worcester and Kidderminster, and former Worcestershire Businesswoman of the Year, has been awarded the honour in recognition of both her entrepreneurial qualities and for her contribution to the local community. She has been the driving force in a number of charitable initiatives such as the Louise Hewett Challenge in 2003 and her Ambassadorial role for Worcestershire.

John Ryan, Registrar and Secretary of the University said: We are delighted that Louise has accepted a Fellowship of the University. She has made an outstanding contribution to the region and demonstrates many of the qualities of enterprise and social responsibility we encourage in our students and graduates. We look forward to a long and fruitful association.

Louise Hewett said: I am very honoured to be made a Fellow. The University has become a central point of the Worcestershire community, and I look forward to working together with the team there to help develop initiatives locally and regionally.
